Hansal Mehta's drama film Omerta, starring Rajkummar Rao, has been locked for release on April 20. The release date was announced by the producers via a statement today.

Omerta is based on the real-life story of British terrorist of Pakistani descent Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh. 

Rajkummar, who sports a bespectacled and heavily bearded look in the film, had earlier described the film as one that "shows you the dark reality of a dangerous world."

The film marks the return of the formidable actor-director team of Hansal Mehta and Rajkummar, who have worked together in films like Aligarh, CityLights and Shahid.

Omerta has won several accolades and was featured at the Toronto International Film Festival. It was also screened at the Jio MAMI Film Festival. It is produced by Nahid Khan and presented by Swiss Entertainment.
